Where on Google Earth #207

Quite exactly half a year after my last WoGE win, I finally managed to find one again: in the last WoGE, Simon (hosted by Jeromes Blog) has shown the mountain Tronfjell, a nice gabbro intrusion in the Norwegian Caledonides. I’d like to present a rather younger feature:

Dominion on her/his blog “The Couloir Times” has shown a part of the Blue Ridge Mountains where she/he grew up as WoGE #177.
Just in time before Christmas, I’d like to present the new snowy/icy WoGE #178:

David of Cryolgy and Co. has pulled us firmly into the Quaternary1 with the climate sequence from the Lac du Bouchet (some additional info about is in David’s follow-up post).
Here’s my new WoGE picture. I hope to attract some new players (or reactivate the old ones), so I choose something not too difficult.
Yes, it isn’t [...]

Again, Péter’s WoGE took quite some time to solve. (Or was just nobody interested?) He also suggested another twist to the game: the location should be connected to the previous one by some common concept, or “keyword”. His keyword was “type locality” – of komatiite, as it turned out. This prevented some of my nastier [...]

In what might be one of the hardest (at least longest-unsolved) WoGE puzzles, Péter has given a nice insight into Precambrian/Proterozoic parts of the South American Platform. This made me realise that I know embarassingly little about that continent – basically nothing except the Andes.
Hopefully people didn’t completely give up on WoGE after that long [...]

Ron Schott’s WoGE had a nice drainage pattern in the Atacama Desert. But now for something completely different:

One more cycle of back-and-forth between Péter and me. After his nice patterns of the meanders of the Paraná river and my rather poor explanation thereof, it’s time for a trip to the sea:

After the beautiful but hard to find WoGE 132 by Péter Luffi, I have one that might be a bit simpler. I guess so at least.

It seems that WoGE wants to oscillate between the Lost Geologist and me. I hope this is unsedimentary enough for him:

Where on Google Earth #129

To the Lost Geologist’s surprise, I rather quickly found his WoGE 128. Admittedly, due to a bit of luck and being inspired by travelling through the Harz just some days earlier…
For today’s WoGE, I tried to find something less German, and after some zooming around I came across this nice-looking feature (part of which seems to [...]
